Site: JobBankUSA (http://www.jobbankusa.com/)
Reviewed: December 2003

Overview:

Since 1995 JobBankUSA.com has provided services to over 5 million job seekers, hiring managers, recruiters and human resource professionals. All candidates are given access to tools designed to help put together an effective resume and to mount an efficient search for a desired position.

Accessibility:

The accessibility of JobBankUSA is poor. The main navigation for the site is made up of images without alternate text, which makes the navigation inaccessible to screen readers. Additionally, the main content area contains numerous text links down both sides of the main content area, yet no "skip navigation" links are availble to allow the user to quickly bypass the repetitive navigation. At a screen resolution of 800 x 600, the page scrolls horizontally, which would cause frustration for many users, particularly those with screen magnifiers.
